I was just saying today how much I appreciate the unbelievable effort that writers make, always risking rejection, to amuse, divert, educate and comfort us. I salute every one of you.

If a government attacks its own people, silences journalists, and curtails freedom, there are consequences. (1/2)

I UK it is almost impossible to see a doctor so we are all resorting to Dr Google - for better or worse.

1/ What’s the price of a 1% drop in MMR vaccination rates?

According to a new report by the Common Health Coalition, it’s 17,000+ measles cases, 4,000 hospitalizations, 36 preventable deaths… and a $1.5 billion annual price tag.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

EveryDoctor is starting a new project looking at whether private equity is now moving into NHS in-sourcing (a system where private companies are paid to do NHS work). 🚨🚨🚨

Regarder un patineur tourner vous donne le vertige ? Lire en voiture vous rend malade ?
Votre système vestibulaire travaille sans que vous en ayez conscience.

The contest of will between Trump and Iran Iran is operating from the principle that if it goes down, it will bring down others with it.

The core elements in Iran’s response to US and Israeli strikes are political and psychological means, not military. Tehran's ultimate weapon is its greater tolerance for higher casualties.

A Europe of clean, green cities and resurgent industry is a fantasy – unless we get really creative | Hans Larsson If we want things to be β€˜Made in Europe’ again, we need to be realistic about how grimy and grey our centres of commerce once were, says architect Hans Larsson
